NMFC 111150 - Letters or Numbers, Boxed | Class 92.5-200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match packaging to the build: use sturdy cartons with dividers for small metal or acrylic letters; upgrade to a wood crate for larger dimensional characters or mixed sets. Reference Package 1078 when combining inner packs.
2. Verify the correct density tier under Item 170. Dense metals often land near Class 92.5–100, while lighter solids like wood or acrylic trend toward higher classes within 92.5–200.
3. Protect surfaces and edges. Sleeve sharp serifs, interleave pieces with corrugated sheets, and bag mounting hardware to prevent rubs and finish damage during LTL handling.
4. Mark the BOL as “Letters/Numbers NOI – NMFC 111150” and note the chosen class. Include total weight and handling unit count so carriers can reconcile quickly at pickup.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Density-based pricing lets you optimize: tight nesting and right-size packaging can move heavy sets into lower classes and reduce per-hundredweight rates.
• Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and lanes, improving service reliability and helping you secure more competitive LTL quotes.
• Package 1078-compliant boxes or crates reduce OS&D risk on finished letters, cutting rework, replacement, and claim administration costs for sign shops and fabricators.
• Accurate NMFC use (111150) minimizes reclass fees and inspections, improving quote-to-invoice accuracy and protecting margins on multi-stop retail rollout projects.
